Just a few years into her creative career already blessed with highlights, Leanne is an artist who manages to mix vulnerability with an unusual strength. This is the feeling that runs through her album, Pull Up Your Britches, which blends a colourful tapestry of delicate moments met with a fiery backhand.
Recorded and mixed with Mark Myers at Big Sister Studios in Cairns, the album consists of a fine line up of musicians including, Bill Chambers - The Hillbillykillers, Jordan Ireland - The Middle East, Jack Venables - Osaka Punch and Simon McMenamin - The McMenamins. She has already had success with tracks Bearing The Crown and Black Snake Calls being played on Triple J.
Written as individual pieces and recorded with two separate line ups, the album has a distinct feel of genre bending.
Leanne has been writing songs and in love with music for as long as she can remember. She began playing the guitar in her teens and started performing publicly by busking in the subways of Brisbane before commencing gig life as soon as she left high school. She has played many festivals including Bigsound, Cairns Festival and Tamworth Country Music Festival and continues to be re-booked for events.
Leanne is very excited to release her debut album, Pull Up Your Britches. It's a collection of songs which represents an artist who has grown and is not afraid to take risks. Pull Up Your Britches, also the first line in Horror-Country track, Boom Boom, represents a time to pick yourself up, move on and make change. This album has a clear indication of Leanne expanding on her current style yet growing into a whole new direction.
Leanne is currently putting together the finishing touches of her first music video to accompany Bearing The Crown. The clip is funded by Arts Council Queensland and Cairns Regional Council through a Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF). (The Regional Arts Development Fund is Queensland Government initiative through Arts Queensland and Cairns Regional Council partnership to support local arts and culture.)

TOWNSVILLE BULLETIN
- Leanne Tennant's voice has a distinct indie, blues & roots tone with lyrics that make you think,
"this girl has got it going on". - Anna Chisholm
CAIRNS POST
- From the opening notes of Leanne Tennant’s breakthrough debut album Pull Up Your Britches, it’s
immediately clear the Cairns singer-songwriter is onto a winner. Whether it’s jangly old-time jazz (Mrs
Brown) sophisticated folk-pop (the lead single Bearing The Crown), bush ballands (7 Drunken Nights)
or even a good ol’ murder ballad (Boom, Boom!), Pull Up Your Britches covers a lot of sonic ground (and
crosses several eras) without so much as breaking a sweat. Throw some stellar guest appearances by
(Bill Chambers, Jordan Ireland, etc) and production from Mark Myers (The Middle East), it’s definitely
no surprise why Triple J is all over this. - Jesse Kuch
JIMI HOCKING
-"We called into the ʻ12 barʼ during the Cairns blues festival. It was an incredible scene with a rocking
band fronted by a sassy rockabilly gal called Leanne Tennant. She had the crowd eating out of her hand,
and within minutes so were we!" - Jimi Hocking (the Screaming Jets & Jimi Hocking aka Jimi the
Human)
ABC RADIO
- “One of the best aspects of presenting a radio program is the opportunity it gives me to put music lovers
and musicians together and thereʼs nothing quite so rewarding as the moment the phone rings at the
station and someone says, “I loved that song.” Iʼve had that experience many times when Iʼve played the
music of FNQ singer songwriter Leanne Tennant. I first heard of Leanne a few years back, around the time
she won the Port Douglas Carnivale songwriters competition. Since then, sheʼs become a mainstay of the
Cairns music scene - sheʼs one of those performers so at home in front of an audience that neither wants
the show to end. Sheʼs an engagingly original singer songwriter, with a very good ear for crowd pleasing
covers – and sheʼs earned the respect and admiration of some big names in the music business – Colin
Hay, Bill Chambers, Daryl Brathwaite, Jenny Morris, Jimi Hocking of The Screaming Jets, Ray Beadle, and
the McMenamins.” - Richard Dinnen, ABC Far North Radio & mojowire.net.au
BILL CHAMBERS
-“Leanne Tennant is a serious Australian talent. Her lyrics express exactly what she feels and she sings with
a unique voice that immediately grabs your attention. Listening to her E.P., “Are You There?” has made me
a true believer.” - Bill Chambers The Hillbillykillers (and father to Kasey Chambers)
